If you had an issue Waterbaby maybe you should of contacted Bill directly to work out the problem--which doesn't look like that was what you did given your play by play of the details--and given him an opportunity to correct the error. THAT would of been believing in the "goodness of people" since Bill IS a stand-up guy and he has never misrepresented himself to anyone on here. Seem like that would of been the simplest way to solve the problem esp. since he was so quick to remove the photos in the first place.

All this drama aside still loving the furniture on this thread. Keep an eye out for one of those rattan shelf rounders for me if one pops up around ya, Bill.

Bonnie -Please air your dirty laundry some where else for Christ sake.
Who are you the TC police .If you have issues - PM me .People on TC are
positive outgoing fun people and really don't want to hear any more of
your gripes.Get over it and move on .Life is to short.Maybe you missed
your calling to be a private investigator .As far as I am concerned you
screwed your self, because if you weren't so pre judge mental and leave
derogatory remarks towards me I would have bought all your rattan.
Good luck trying to sell your rattan on TC now , no one will want to
deal with you.You have no Aloha spirit or even know what it means .

Sofa king - if my so called stuff is so common, then by all means go and find it
on Craigs list,there are some real deals to be had in this economy.What you fail
to understand is many of the rattan you see for cheap on Craigs list have issues-
needs new cushions or new wraps,varnish work etc.The best rattan I have ever
found was not found on Craig's list or flea markets.By making a statement like
that you have shown your ignorance when it comes to the subject of vintage
rattan in general.I have been buying , selling, collecting, trading and restoring
vintage rattan for about 14 years, long before most( not all)of the people on
TC were buying rattan or tiki .If there are any more questions,concerns or
complaints - don't hesitate and PM me.
Thanks,

I kid, I kid.

Relax, I’m just joking with you a little bit. I didn’t mean to come off so poopy. I apologize if I did.

By no means is the furniture on this thread (or any other of your rattan pieces) common, run of the mill or poor quality.

While remote, my post was in reference to a comment you made on another thread a while back.
